RE: (ET) Parts

["David Roden (Akron OH USA)" <roden ald net>]

I suspect that the folks who are always looking for the cheapest way out 
wouldn't patronize Bill even if he had the fanciest homepage on the web.

But where a web presence ~would~ help him is in impulse buying.  How many 
times have you decided to buy something online, but browsed around a bit 
and added a little to your "shopping cart" before finalizing the order?

Not only that, but a good, solid online FAQ might reduce the number of 
help calls that don't result in a sale.  Less time invested per sale 
means more return, at least on paper.

I really appreciate Bill's support, but if he wants out, I hope someone 
(probably from this list) will buy him out and keep the parts business 
going.  Unfortunately, it's going to have to be a person who does it out 
of dedication, not for the money, because supporting the ET is never 
going to be very lucrative.
